Athletes Wrestling by Mitchell

Mitchell - Athlete Restrained
This is an early picture inspired by Tom of Finland's imagery. Wrestling is a good context for portraying the male form and strength. Originally published as part of a set called 'Inspired by Tom' which is available at Mitchell's 'mitchmen' Yahoo Group.

Cops and ...........

Although I'm a Brit I've always preferred the US style of Cop uniform
and they feature in many of my pictures and stories.

It seems like boy's stuff, but the shoulder flashes, the epaulets, the patch pockets
and the chunky belt all accentuate the physical characteristics of the male body.


Shades add to the image of authority although these, worn by Bryce are a bit odd.


Not forgetting boots, handcuffs and a gun.
That's quite an armoury of memorable masculine paraphernalia
 before you even consider the man inside the uniform.
